Campaign Director for Donald TrumpThe presidential offer in 2024, the victor, filed a lawsuit against the Daily Best newspaper, claiming that the news port fabricated about compensating his campaign in his campaign and was deliberately attached to his career.
The Chis Lacivita suit, which was submitted on Monday, at the American Provincial Court of the Eastern Region in Virginia, focuses on a series of articles published in October 2024, claiming that he had received up to $ 22 million from the campaign and the political work committees associated with it.
The issue is also part of a greater pattern of legal confrontation between Trump as well as those in orbit and media, after high -level defamation claims against major news networks. Over the years, Trump and his allies have increased vating as a tool to challenge press reports that they are seen as hostile or inaccurate.
According to the court files, the Daily Best newspaper published multiple articles in 2024, indicating that Luxeta had “paid” huge payments, including an article by the investigative journalist Michael Isikov, who was titled Trump in a cash crisis – and the salaries of the head of the campaign of $ 22 million.
Lacivita claims that reports created “a wrong impression that he was excessively benefiting” and giving priority to personal profit for the success of the campaign – which they argued that he has harmed his personal reputation. The lawsuit-which is not called ISIKOFF as a defendant-claims that the number of millions of dollars is the expenses of the total ads for campaigns, not personal income.
After requesting the initial correction from the Lacivita Legal Team, The Daily Beast has amended its reports, which reduced the compensation demanded to $ 19.2 million and clarified that the money went to Laftita Consulting Company. However, the lawsuit argues that these changes did not deal adequately the basic distortion.
The complaint seeks compensation and punitive compensation, on the pretext that the reports have been affected by the professional Lukefita reputation. The Daily Beast described the lawsuit as an “inevitable” attempt to intimidate the independent press.
“An indisputable lawsuit and a transparent attempt to intimidate the monster and silence the independent press,” a statement from the director She participated with the New York Times Read. “The monster will defend itself strongly and look forward to pursuing the money to confirm the place where each penny flowed into Lacivita’s LLC.”
Laccoita, who is now head of the Chairman of the National Staff of Republicans (RNC) and the director of Trump campaign, is looking for millions of damage to reforming his professional position, as the lawsuit noted that there are more than a million people of alleged defamation reports.
The legal procedure adds an increasing trend to aggressive media confrontations, which included Trump’s claim of $ 20 billion against CBS News and $ 15 million leveling with ABC News due to a different dispute from reporting.
